Michaudel Lab

Proud lab mate moment 🥳 Congrats on this well-deserved award @MaryYenca!!

Behold ✨ our newest @J_A_C_S paper just dropped! Check out this great collaboration with @Gutierrez_Lab on stereoretentive ROMP for precision PPV synthesis. tinyurl.com/mr3ma379

Congratulations on passing your preliminary exam and officially becoming a PhD candidate! Now the real adventure begins. So proud of you, Vaishak! 🎓🎉

ACS Spring 2026 🧪✨ Presentations ✔️ Networking ✔️ Coffee ✔️ A successful week all around. We hope you had a chance to catch these great talks! Here are a few moments from Quentin, Srutashini, and Mary 👇

Well done, Varun, for an amazing third-year seminar! His talk highlighted the hard work and progress he's made over the past few years. Excited to see what's next!🎉

Diazene fragmentation couldn’t help but look at a triplet energy transfer⚡️ A tunable handle for radical cross-coupling, a great collaboration with @LudoTroian ! ✨Check out this cool new work out in @J_A_C_S tinyurl.com/2u47x4u9

New precision PPV synthesis unlocked 🔓 In collaboration with the @Gutierrez_Lab, we leveraged mechanistic studies of stereoretentive ROMP of PCDs to uncover unique platforms for the precise synthesis of PPVs Pre-print available now on @ChemRxiv ! 👀 tinyurl.com/yd2ntse5

Another big congratulations goes to our PI @q_michaudel on receiving the 2026 Augustine Award of the Organic Reactions Catalysis Society! He'll deliver the 2026 Augustine Award Lecture at the 30th Biennial ORCS meeting this April! Read more about it here: tinyurl.com/4tbf2pbe

@Srutashini has received the 2026 Kenneth G. Hancock Memorial Award from the ACS Green Chemistry Institute! With this award, she'll be presenting her research at the Annual Green Chemistry & Engineering Conference in San Antonio this coming June. Congrats, Srutashini!

We're delighted to announce not one but TWO awards recently received in the Michaudel Lab! Srutashini Das, one of our amazing fourth-year grad students, and our very own PI Dr. Quentin Michaudel are recipients of two prestigious awards listed below. Both very well-deserved!🎉👏

Can't ROMP pyridine-containing monomers because of Ru coordination? Have you tried . . . ✨adding acid?✨ Our group's newest work on the acid-promoted ROMP and N-functionalization of pyridine-fused norbornenes is out now! Congrats to the team!💣🎉 tinyurl.com/3hnj2u43

Check out our group's new Perspective published in @ScienceMagazine highlighting some great work on modulating thermoplastic properties through light-mediated stereocontrol! We love when others share our passion for polymer stereochemical control!🫶 science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

Just in time for this weekend’s winter weather! Stay inside by the fireplace with some hot cocoa while you check out our new review on “macroisostere” design as a powerful strategy in polymer synthesis. Out now in Progress in Polymer Science! ❄️🧪 doi.org/10.1016/j.prog…

Who's this? Oh, just Srutashini—one of our excellent grad students who was recently selected to the #ACSSpring2026 @POLY_ACS Excellence in Graduate Polymer Research Symposium! Make sure to check out her poster at session POLY034A this coming March in Atlanta!

Here comes double trouble (in the best way 😈)! Check out our work now published in @angew_chem using fluorosulfonyl aziridines as bifunctional electrophiles as a platform for alkene diversification! tinyurl.com/36xn4x38

Please join us in welcoming our three awesome new first-year graduate students! Say hello to Ellis, Diana, and Umesh—may their reactions be high-yield and their coffee always strong ☕🔥

Sending a HEEP of congratulations to Mary on being awarded the HEEP Graduate Fellowship! We can't wait to see the amazing chemistry she'll create with HIAS fellow @GeoffreyWCoates through this collaboration! Very excited to work with @TheCoatesCrew!☀️🧪

Jeff shone brighter than the photochemistry he discussed in his recent third-year seminar! He *shed light* on the deaminitive C(sp3)–C(sp2) cross coupling he's been working on for the past couple of years. Well done, Jeff! 🌟💎

New @ChemRxiv preprint alert! 🚨 Alkene diversification just got easier with our new work on the synthesis of fluorosulfonyl aziridines from FSO2NH2! When you see what this bifunctional electrophile can do, you'll be *twice* as excited to try it yourself✨ tinyurl.com/4a85upak

Diazene chemistry? ✅ Photocatalyzed EnT? ✅ Radical sorting? ✅ Your new favorite method for C–C bond formation? ✅ Check out our lab's newest work now published in @Chem_CP! Congrats to our awesome team led by Deepta on this beautiful chemistry! tinyurl.com/2rwzwpej
